It seems like mille crepe cakes are the rage among Asian friends. I was recently told about it. Since I live in a cave and I don’t bake I had no idea what it was and had to google it.
It seems like there is a no local commercial supplier (that I know of. Again, what do I know, I live in a cave). Some people get theirs from LA. There are a couple of cottage food mille crepe cake maker around the South Bay. The cake is labor intensive to make so its quite expensive for its size. Its a French cake consisting of bunch of layers (20+) of paper thin crepes, each separated with a brush of French pastry. I was ‘encouraged’ to get one, but before I do that, I want to get some opinion on whether its worth it.
If you have tried it before-
- do you like it?
- where did you get it?
- is it worth the price?
- how do you compare these cakes to the ones made by great patisseries around the Bay Area?
Thanks!
